Celery Tango Hybrid
Ready to eat 2 weeks earlier than older varieties!
Celery is not a "plant-it-and-forget-it" vegetable, but with relatively little effort, you will harvest stalks that are infinitely more tender and flavorful than store-bought varieties. If you have a very moist, boggy location, all the better. If not, just remember to water the growing plants frequently and consistently. Sow celery seeds indoors about 10 to 12 weeks before last frost date. Plant the seedlings 1 foot apart in trenches 6 inches deep, filling the trenches with soil as the plants grow. During growth, keep the seedlings shaded and consistently moist, and fertilize regularly with a 5-10-10 solution. This will improve both the flavor and yields of your plants. If you want to blanch the plants for white-stalked celery, simply shade them. Pkt is 250 seeds.
